The Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Divine Otoo Agorhom, has admitted that the party’s performance in the 2024 general elections was disappointing.

Speaking during an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Channel One TV’s Face to Face on Tuesday, July 22, Mr Agorhom said the outcome of the elections clearly showed that the NPP failed to meet the expectations of the Ghanaian electorate.

“It’s not a good story to tell. I don’t like making excuses, but 2024 didn’t go well for the NPP. If you’re talking about losing seats, we lost seats in almost all the regions, even including the Almighty Ashanti Region. And we lost seats in the Central region as well. Generally, the elections did not go well for us,” he said.

According to Mr Agorhom, being in government came with the responsibility to deliver on promises and meet the aspirations of the people. The election results, he said, reflected the public’s dissatisfaction.

“We were in government, and so, if the government’s performance met the aspirations of Ghanaians, they would have renewed our mandate. It simply means that, for whatever reason, rightly or wrongly, the Ghanaian voter thinks that our performance did not meet their expectations. For that reason, they voted us out,” he stated.

Mr Agorhom’s comments add to ongoing discussions within the NPP on the need for introspection and reforms following the party’s electoral defeat.
